The storage_spaces collector exposes metrics about Storage Spaces storage pools and virtual disks.
It works on standalone hosts as well as on failover clusters using Storage Spaces Direct.
Storage pools and virtual disks only exist for Storage Spaces, for example the pool that Storage Spaces Direct builds
from the local drives of the cluster nodes. A failover cluster whose Cluster Shared Volumes are SAN LUNs (Fibre
Channel, iSCSI, SAS) has no storage pool, so this collector reports nothing there (see
[failover cluster storage architectures](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/storage-architectures)). The size and free space of Cluster
Shared Volumes are reported for both setups by the `shared_volumes` sub-collector of the
[`mscluster`](collector.mscluster.md) collector.
